SCHIZANTHUS - 
Poor Man’s Orchid 
Schizanthus should be grown in every garden 
for it is a lovely plant with masses of small 
Orchid-like blooms making an effective and 
unusual show in the border. As a cut flower it 
is exquisite when used to fill in flower arrange- 
ments and gives a change from the usual Baby’s 
Breath. For early bloom sow seed under glass 
in early March; for later blooms sow towards the 
end of April or early May. 
Towards the end of April or in May seed may 
be sown out-of-doors. To ensure very fine speci- 
mens for blooming in spring, seed should be 
sown under glass late in August or early in Sep- 
tember. A high temperature is not required for 
Schizanthus, even in the winter months, 
Hybrid Type 
4083. Sutton’s Pansy-Flowered (Danbury 
Park Strain) Per packet 40c 
One of the most attractive subjects that can 
be grown in the greenhouse. Our strain in- 
cludes many rich self-colors in diverse shades 
of pink, crimson, mauve and purple, as well as 
white, and a group of these plants makes a 
mass of wonderful coloring. The large smooth- 
edged Pansy-flowered blooms are remarkably 
substantial. Award of Merit, R. H. S., 1936. 
SUNFLOWER .- Helianthus 
Sowings may be made in the open in April or 
May where the plants are to flower, or seed 
may be sown very early in the season, and the 
plants brought forward in the manner usual with 
half-hardy annuals. 
Large-Flowered Varieties

SALPIGLOSSIS Half-Hardy Annual 
Salpiglossis are highly ornamental annuals, 
with large, veined, funnel-shaped flowers; much 
prized for cutting; very showy in beds or bor- 
ders. A bed of these beautiful plants is one of 
the most striking features of the garden during 
July and August. Salpiglossis also make splendid 
pot plants for groups in the greenhouse, 
If an early display is wanted, a start should 
be made at the end of February or beginning of 
March, by sowing on a moderate hotbed. In 
May the plants will be ready for flowering 
quarters. Or sow in April in the open ground 
where the plants are to remain. For flowering 
under glass, seed should be sown in August or 
September, and under cool-house treatment the 
plants will bloom profusely in the following 
spring. .

Sutton’s 
Sweet Williams 
Dianthus Barbatus 
French, Oeillet de poete. Hardy biennial. 
Height about 18 inches. Sweet Williams are as 
important for the garden in the early summer 
as are Antirrhinums and Asters in the later 
months. The Pink Beauty, Scarlet, and Giant 
White varieties are especially attractive, and 
make possible at a somewhat difficult period of 
the year brilliant bedding effects on a large 
scale, equal to those obtained with Antirrhin- 
ums or Wallflowers. Seed of the biennial vari- 
eties should be sown in May, June, or July, and 
the plants transferred to blooming quarters in 
the autumn. 
4520. Sutton’s Pink Beauty Per packet 40c 
A beautiful salmon-pink variety, which should 
be grown in every garden. 
4524. Sutton’s Scarlet Per packet 40c 
A still more remarkable color than our Pink 
Beauty, from which this variety has been sel- 
ected. The flowers are of an intense scarlet, 
similar to that of Grenadin Carnation. A bed 
of this Sweet William is very striking. 
4529, Sutton’s Auricula-Eyed Mixed 
Per packet 40c 
Magnificent strain of large-flowered Sweet 
William; many attractive shades of salmon, 
deep pink, cerise, and other charming colors.

taken for perennial Phlox. The individual 
smooth-edged flowers exceed the size of a 
florin.

Cen-Week Stocks 
Delightfully fragrant heavy trusses of double 
flowers in spires on strong stems make Stocks 
an indispensable flower for the garden and cut- 
ing. 
It is usual to sow annual Stocks under glass 
from the middle to the end of March. Sow 
thinly that the plants may become stout, and 
from the first give air freely when practicable. 
Prick off the seedlings into pans or boxes and 
give them the protection of a cold frame. An- 
nual Stocks can also be successfully grown from 
sowings made in the open about the end of 
pril. Za

the winter months with very little trouble, and

delightful scent alone. Sow thinly, in pans or 
shallow boxes, from June to August.
